What’s New

Direction: Below is an excerpt of a story shared by Stefanie O’ Connell Rodriguez.


Read how she reveals truths about pursuing one’s passion in life.

I was in fifth grade when I performed in my first musical. I shared the role
of the narrator in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat with four of my
fellow classmates for one night only. It was magical.

When it came time to take the final bow and head home, I started crying.

When my mom asked what was wrong, I replied, “This was the best night
of my life and nothing will ever be as good.”

True story.

Days dancing in front of the television to the West Side Story movie
evolved into voice lessons and acting classes. Afternoons practicing soccer and
running to gymnastics workouts were replaced with rehearsals for plays and
improv shows around town.

When it came time to apply for college, there was no doubt in my mind as
to what I would study. Theater was my passion, and if I had learned anything, it
was that pursuing your passion was the key to a lifetime of success and
happiness.

Today, a little over ten years since graduating high school and heading
out into the world to live my dreams, I no longer spend my days singing and
dancing around stage. In fact, from an outside perspective, it might seem as
though I’ve executed a full 180, having built a career around budgeting, credit,
savings and other decidedly “passionless” subjects.

The truth is though, that I love what I do, and I’m extremely passionate
about it.

It’s a funny thing – passion.

What I find most peculiar though are the narratives that exist around it.

In sharing my experience, I hope to offer a more comprehensive


understanding of that narrative – the hard truths, the lessons learned and the
pleasantly surprising places pursuing your passion can lead.

What is It

You are going to this alone. Read, understand and familiarize the different
forms of artistic expression. Identify which of the various forms of artistic expression
you are good at since you will be using that for the latter activities.

FORMS OF ARTISTIC EXPRESSION

I. Painting

It is the art of splashing colors with the help of brushes in a certain way to
create an art. Painting can be done on almost any surface and they can be digital (on
computers) or manual using paints and brushes. There are different kinds of
painting materials like sand, paper, clay and many more. Painting is all about
creativity, so artists don't restrict themselves to only limited medium and materials,
it is an ever-growing process.

There are different types of painting styles but modern style of painting is the
most sought-after technique, it allows the artist to bring forth his ideas on the canvas
with a mixture of modernism, abstract and surreal techniques. There are different
styles of painting like abstract art, conceptual art, Hyperrealism, pop art, Futurism,
Impressionism and so on. As artists, you can focus on single styles or a combination
of styles.

Types of Painting Techniques

 Oil painting

 Watercolor painting

 Pastel painting

 Acrylic painting

 Digital painting

 Ink wash Painting or Literati painting - Chinese black ink

 Hot wax painting or Encaustic painting

6 RO6_Q1_SPA7TheaterArts_Module1
 Spray Painting

 Fresco secco paintings - wall painting technique

 Gouache - opaque watercolor medium

 Enamel paintings

 Tempera paintings (are very long lasting)

 Sand Painting, etc.

Elements of Painting

a. Color (or hue) is at the heart of every painting. It is arguably the most
important element because it sets the tone for how viewers feel about the work.
It can, for instance, be warm and inviting or cold and stark. Either way, color
can set the mood for a piece.

b. Tone and value are used interchangeably in painting. It is, essentially, how
light or dark a paint is when you strip away the color. Understanding how to
use it can greatly affect the way your art is perceived.

c. Line is defined as a narrow mark made by a brush, or a line created where


two objects or elements meet. It defines the subject of paintings and helps us
imply things such as movement.

d. Shape is an enclosed area that is made when lines meet. When that shape
takes on a third dimension (as in sculpture or some mixed media), we then
also have form.

e. Space (or volume) is another crucial element in any art and it can be used to
great effect in paintings. When talking about space in art, we think of the
balance between positive and negative space.

f. Composition is the arrangement of the painting. Where you place the subject,
how the background elements support it, and every little piece that you add
to the canvas becomes part of the composition. It is critical to how the work
is perceived.

g. Direction is a broad term that can be interpreted in many ways. You might,
for instance, consider the format of a painting part of its direction. A vertical
canvas can work better than a horizontal one for certain subjects and vice
versa.

h. Size refers to the scale of the painting itself as well as the scale of proportions
within the painting's elements.

7 RO6_Q1_SPA7TheaterArts_Module1
II. Drawing

It is the art or technique of producing images on a surface, usually paper, by


means of marks, usually of ink, graphite, chalk, charcoal, or crayon. Drawing is at
the heart or soul of an artist’s way to express themselves. As a communication tool,
drawing is a creative way to express the feelings and thoughts of an artist or designer.
A drawing can be a sketch, a plan, a design, or graphic representation made with the
help of pens, pencils, or crayons. The final result depends upon its nature and
purpose.

Types of Drawing

a. Illustration Drawing is a drawing that is created to represent the lay-out of a


particular document. They include all the basic details of the project
concerned clearly stating its purpose, style, size, color, character, and effect.

b. Life Drawing is the result of direct or real observations. Life drawing, also
known as still-life drawing or figure drawing, portrays all the expressions that
are viewed by the artist and captured in the picture. The human figure forms
one of the most enduring themes in life drawing that is applied to portraiture,
sculpture, medical illustration, cartooning and comic book illustration, and
other fields.

c. Emotive Drawing is similar to painting. Emotive drawing emphasizes the


exploration and expression of different emotions, feelings, and moods. These
are generally depicted in the form of a personality.

d. Analytic Drawing is a sketch which is created for clear understanding and


representation of observations made by an artist. In simple words, analytic
drawing is undertaken to divide observations into small parts for a better
perspective.

e. Perspective Drawing is used by artists to create three-dimensional images


on a two-dimensional picture plane, such as paper. It represents space,
distance, volume, light, surface planes, and scale, all viewed from a particular
eye-level.

f. Diagrammatic Drawing is used when documenting concepts and ideas on


paper. Diagrams are created to depict adjacencies and happenstance that are
likely to take place in the immediate future. Thus, diagrammatic drawings
serve as active design process for the instant ideas so conceived.

g. Geometric Drawing is used, particularly, in construction fields that demand


specific dimensions. Measured scales, true sides, sections, and various other
descriptive views are represented through geometric drawing.

8 RO6_Q1_SPA7TheaterArts_Module1
III. Singing

Signing is the production of musical tones by means of the human voice. In


its physical aspect, singing has a well-defined technique that depends on the use of
the lungs, which act as an air supply, or bellows; on the larynx, which acts as a reed
or vibrator; on the chest and head cavities, which have the function of an amplifier,
as the tube in a wind instrument; and on the tongue, which together with the palate,
teeth, and lips articulate and impose consonants and vowels on the amplified sound.
Though these four mechanisms function independently, they are nevertheless
coordinated in the establishment of a vocal technique and are made to interact upon
one another.

Though everyone’s range is specific to their voice, most vocal ranges are
categorized within 6 common voice types: Bass, Baritone, Tenor, Alto, Mezzo-
Soprano, and Soprano. If you’ve been part of a choir before, you’re probably pretty
familiar with these ranges. If you haven’t, you may have wondered which voice “type”
fits you.

Generally speaking, your vocal range is the lowest note you can sing to the
highest note you can sing. You may be able to reach notes within more than one
vocal range, but when it comes in deciding what is your vocal range, comfort is key.
Where is your voice most comfortable? Where do the notes stop sounding great even
though you can still squeak them out? We’re here to help you out!

Before we break down each of the voice types, you should be familiar with the
numbering system on a keyboard. Talking about notes as “the second A above middle
C” can start to get confusing, so a widely used technique is to accompany note names
with their given octave number on a keyboard. Middle C is called C4 because it is
the 4th C (starting from the Bass) up on the keyboard.

Now that you are a little more familiar with the notes, let’s get to determining
which voice type best suit you!

The three male voice types are: Bass, Baritone, and Tenor.

The three female voice types are: Alto, Mezzo-Soprano, and Soprano.

9 RO6_Q1_SPA7TheaterArts_Module1
Bass

The bass is the lowest singing range and typically lies between E2 to E4. In
the lower and upper extremes of the bass voice, some basses can sing from C2 to G4.

Baritone

The baritone is the second lowest singing range, and overlaps both Bass and
Tenor. The typical baritone range is from A2 to A4, and might extend down to F2 or
up to C5.

The baritone voice type is the most common type of male voice.

Tenor

The tenor is the highest type of male voice, typically comfortable between C3
to C5. Tenors generally have greater control over their falsetto (head voice), allowing
them to reach notes well into the female register.

Those who can sing higher than the average tenor are often given the title
“countertenor.”

10 RO6_Q1_SPA7TheaterArts_Module1
Alto

The alto is the lowest type of female voice. The typical alto range lies between
F3 to F5, though there are those who can sing above or below this range. Those who
can sing below are often called “contralto’s” and can usually sing in a range similar
to a tenor.

Though altos have a very similar range to mezzo-sopranos, their voices are
usually richer and fuller in the lower register than mezzos. Again, it’s all about where
the voice is most comfortable.

Mezzo-Soprano

The mezzo-soprano voice is the middle-range voice type for females,


overlapping both the alto and soprano ranges. The typical range of this voice is
between A3 and A5.

Many times, mezzo-sopranos will sing the same voice part as sopranos until
there is a 3-way split between sopranos, mezzos, and altos.

Soprano

The soprano is the highest singing voice. The typical soprano voice lies
between C4 and C6.

11 RO6_Q1_SPA7TheaterArts_Module1
IV. Dance

Dance is the movement of the body in a rhythmic way, usually to music and
within a given space, for the purpose of expressing an idea or emotion, releasing
energy, or simply taking delight in the movement itself.

The Elements of Dance are the foundational concepts and vocabulary that
help students develop movement skills and understand dance as an artistic practice.

The acronym BASTE helps students remember the elements: Body, Action,
Space, Time and Energy.

This framework is a way to discuss any kind of movement. While different


dance styles call for specialized skills and stylization choices, the underlying
elements of dance are visible in all dance experiences.

Popular Styles of Dance


There are many different styles of dance, each one with its own set of skills,
music and style. Many dancers start out taking several different dance classes,
learning an overview of a handful of types of dance before specializing in one area,
as they get older. Here is a brief overview of some of the most popular styles of dance.

a. Contemporary. This style of dance incorporates lyrical, modern, ballet and


jazz. Contemporary dance is all about connecting the mind and the body
through dance movements. It is typically done barefoot and there is a heavy
emphasis on strong controlled legwork. This style often allows the dancer
creative freedom, and can be danced to a variety of different music.

b. Ballet. Ballet is often referred to as the backbone of dance. The fundamentals


used in ballet are often used throughout all other styles of dance as well. There
are three main classifications: classical ballet, neoclassical ballet and
contemporary ballet. This style of dance is used to tell a story. It relies heavily
on technique and requires an enormous about of diligence and dedication to
perfect. Ballet is typically danced to classical music and is done wearing
slippers or pointe shoes.

c. Jazz. This type of dance is very fun and energetic. It is typically paired with
upbeat music such as hip-hop or show tunes to add a theatrical flair. Jazz
dancers often have more freedom to express their own individual personality
through their dance performances. These dances usually have quick
footsteps, lots of leaps and turns and unique moves.

d. Tap. Tap dance is probably best known for the type of shoes the dancers wear.
Tap dancers wear special shoes with metal taps on the soles that allows them
to create their own drum like rhythmic patterns and sound while they dance.

12 RO6_Q1_SPA7TheaterArts_Module1
Although a majority of the focus in this dance is on the feet, jazz dancers use
their upper bodies and arms a lot to blend the movements of their routine.

e. Hip-hop. Hip-hop is a style of dance that evolved from hip-hop culture and is
typically danced to of course, hip hop music. Breakdancing is the most well-
known type of hip-hop dance, but other styles include krumping, popping and
locking. This style of dance is probably the most different from the other
forms. It is generally very energetic and allows the dancer to have freedom of
movement within the routine and incorporate their personalities.

f. Ballroom. Ballroom dances are done with a partner, almost always a man and
a woman. For this reason, it is known as the social dance, because of the
interaction between the two dance partners. There are several popular types
of ballroom dances including the Cha Cha, foxtrot, jive, lindy hop, mambo,
pasodoble, quickstep, rumba, samba, tango, Vietnamese waltz, and the waltz.

V. Sculpture

Sculpture is the art of making forms and figures in clay or other materials or
a product of such an art. An example of a sculpture is a clay statue of a famous
figure. Sculpture is the creation of three-dimensional forms. A form is an object
defined by contour, height, depth, and width. Sculpture is created through three
basic processes: carving, modeling, or assembly.

a. Carving: The sculptor removes unwanted material to create the form. This is
also called subtractive sculpture. Generally, materials such as a block of
wood, stone, and other hard materials are used.

b. Modeling: The sculptor creates a form by building it up from an amorphous


lump of plastic material. This is also called additive sculpture. Clay, paper
machê, and other pliable materials are modeled into a sculpture. Modeling
with clay is generally the first process for creating a cast metal sculpture.

c. Assembly (or construction): The sculptor joins prefabricated elements as in


welded metal constructions. This is also additive sculpture. Materials such as
steel, wood, and found materials are glued, welded, or connected in some other
fashion to create a sculpture.

Types of Sculpture

There are three types of sculptures:

a. Freestanding Sculpture is finished on all sides. It can stand-alone. Many


freestanding sculptures are placed in an indentation in a wall called a niche.

13 RO6_Q1_SPA7TheaterArts_Module1
These are freestanding sculptures; however, they cannot be viewed on all
sides.

b. Relief Sculpture projects from a background. Reliefs are classified by their


degree of projection; high relief indicates that the objects project at least half
of their natural circumference from the background and low relief indicates
the figures barely project from the background.

c. Kinetic Sculpture is sculpture that moves either by air currents such as


mobiles or by a power source installed by the artist.

VI. Writing

Writing is the process of using symbols (letters of the alphabet, punctuation


and spaces) to communicate thoughts and ideas in a readable form.

Generally, we write using a pen/pencil (handwriting) or a keyboard (typing).


With a pen or pencil, we usually write on a surface such as paper or whiteboard. A
keyboard is normally attached to a typewriter, computer or mobile device. Voice
recognition programs allow those who can't see or use their hands to have their
thoughts transcribed.

To write clearly, it is essential to understand the basic system of a language.


In English, this includes knowledge of grammar, punctuation and sentence
structure. Vocabulary is also necessary, as is correct spelling and formatting.

A writer may write for personal enjoyment or use, or for an audience of one
person or more. The audience may be known (targeted) or unknown. Taking notes
for study purposes is an example of writing for one's self. Blogging publicly is an
example of writing for an unknown audience. A letter to a friend is an example of
writing for a targeted audience. As with speaking, it is important to consider your
audience when writing. There are many different styles of writing, from informal to
formal.

VII. Photography

Photography is the art or process of producing images by the action of radiant


energy and especially light on a sensitive surface (as film or an optical sensor).

14 RO6_Q1_SPA7TheaterArts_Module1
Types of Photography

1. Landscape Photography

If you love photography and have the tendency to stop and admire beautiful
sceneries then taking a picture to capture that natural wonder, you are definitely a
type of photographer interested in landscape photography.

2. Wildlife Photography

The genre of photography that


focuses on animals and their natural
habitat is called wildlife photography.
Animal behaviors in the wild are also
captured by wildlife photographers.
Mostly these pictures are captured to be
printed in journals or exhibitions. Many
people practice this type of photography.
Apart from a good camera, several lens,
strong flashlight, you need patience to
click the right picture.

Aerial photography is a kind of photography where pictures are captured from


a higher altitude such as planes, air balloons, parachutes and skyscrapers. These
pictures provide a larger view of the subject and its background.

4. Sports or Action Photography

This photography specializes in capturing


a decisive moment in action or during a sports
competition. Sports photography is one of the
difficult types of photography. It requires
practice along with the use of various
equipment.

It is said that a newcomer in professional photography begins his or her career


by practicing in wedding or event photography. But that does not mean that this type
of photography does not require any skill. A person dealing in this type of
photography has to be an expert in portraiture and has good editing skills. There are
more demands for wedding and event photography than any other types of
photography.

8. Fashion Photography

Fashion photography captures models in


glamorous light and displays fashion items such
as clothes, shoes and other accessories. This
type of photography is conducted mostly for
advertisements and fashion magazines.

11. Abstract Photography

Abstract photography is often compared to


abstract art as it also focuses on the shape, pattern,
color, form, and texture. The subject of abstract
photography is generally second to be viewed as the
impact of the aspects surrounding the subject
convey the essence of the image in most cases.

Each form of artistic expressions depicts real life stories of the artists. Some
are tales of happiness, success, love… and some are of hatred, anger and failures.

Thus, it is a must for the viewers or listeners to critically evaluate the


masterpieces before jumping into conclusions. Here are some of the examples of
artworks made out from real life stories of very well-known people.

The subject of the painting is believed to be


Lisa del Giocondo, wife of a wealthy businessman
of that era.

Da Vinci created this painting when Lisa and


her husband moved to a new home and when they
had their second child. However, there are different
opinions about the subject and some people even
dare to think the subject is none other than
Leonardo himself! The truth behind the painting
might still be an unresolved mystery, but the value
of this piece of art is beyond anyone’s imagination.
The painting is on display at Louvre, Paris.

Discovered in 1974, the Terracotta Army (arguably the most


stupendous find in all archaeological history) is an enormous cache of clay
statues buried in three massive pits near the tomb of Shi Huang, the first
Emperor of China, who died in 210 BC. Meant to protect him in the afterlife,
the Army is believed by some estimates to number more than 8,000 soldiers
along with 670 horses and 130 chariots. Each is life-size, though actual height
varies according to military rank. While the features for each soldier appear
unique, they’re actually based on 10 basic facial shapes, part of an assembly
line process in which craftsmen used molds to fabricate the figures in separate
segments before joying them together with a watered-down clay called slip. The
soldiers were then outfitted with actual weapons (spears, swords, etc.) and
painted bright colors, though over time, the pigment faded or flaked off
completely.

The Singkíl originated from the Maranao people who inhabit the
shores of Lake Lanao. It is derived from a story in the Darangen, the
Maranao interpretation of the ancient Indian epic,
the Ramayana (indicating the dance’s Hindu spiritual origin). The name
of the dance itself means “to entangle the feet with disturbing objects
such as vines or anything in your path”. It is a popular dance performed
during celebrations and other festive entertainment. Originally only
women, particularly royalty, danced the Singkíl, which serves as either
a conscious or unconscious advertisement to potential suitors.

“REFLECTION”
(Philippine Eagle mirrors itself on the Sea)

Mak Tumang, the designer of Catriona Gray’s Miss Universe final walk
gown, said that the creation of the gown was inspired from the vision of the
Philippine Eagle flying over the flawless turquoise seas embracing our
archipelago. Despite its mighty ability to soar up high far beyond the clouds,
it could still manage to look down until the point of reflecting itself on the shiny
waters. This display of both might and humility is the call each of us heeds.

He further explained that, “As a nation, we are to have a steadfast spirit


yet we also take a moment to journey within ourselves. By doing so, we could
be able to mirror the beauty that is within us, to mirror what is true and just
and to mirror the light which illuminates our path. Silay; to mirror,
Pagbubulay; to introspect - the Filipino nation's moment of reflection!”
